Hand grip strength in patients with LVADs: A scoping review

Abstract: Hand grip strength (HGS) is a simple test to evaluate the upper limb strength in patients with different diseases. HGS is associated with disability, frailty, and sarcopenia in adults, 1-4 and pediatric patients. 5,6 The evaluation of the upper extremity strength can be used to predict exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2 the functional decline in the elderly, 7 muscle fatigability, 8 and functional outcomes in defined orthopedics patients. 9-11 HGS seems to furnish, together… Show more

“…Grip strength is a crucial biomarker due to its relevance to frailty, [1] aging, [2] cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, [3] the degree of recovery from heart surgery, [4][5][6] brain health, [7,8] and DOI: 10.1002/advs.202304091 mental health. [9] In addition to maximum grip strength, other important indicators of overall health are grip speed, grip impulse, and fatigue rate derived from the grip forcetime curve.…”
